Auckland Harbour Bridge

Auckland Harbour Bridge is an Auckland icon. It is 1,020 m (3,348 ft) long, with a main span of 243.8 m, rising 43.27 m allowing ships access. This view is looking from Northcote in North Shore toward St Mary's Bay on the otherside of the harbour. Before the bridge was built, vehicles and passengers used ferries to get across or would drive round the harbour through West Auckland which could take over an hour.
